After the victory in the derby, Hapoel Tel Aviv continued the momentum this evening (Tuesday) and achieved an impressive home victory at the Shlomo Group Hall, 82:84 over Turk Telecom at the end of a thrilling game, with the help of the wonderful ability of Esbair Manford, who stood out with 33 points and won the game with a hat trick.
Two days after the victory in the derby, Danny Franco's apprentices returned to the floor and to their home field and met the runner-up of the Turkish league, but had to appear in the match without Jordan McRae, JP Tokoto and Idan Zalmanson, who were absent from the match due to an illness that afflicted them in the last few days.

In the absence of the three players, Franco was looking for a player to step up and carry his friends on his back and he got it from Jaylen Hurd and Xavier Manford who scored 14 points already in the first half and led the host to a double digit lead of 15 points.
The Turks did not break and remained in the picture for many minutes and even took the lead, but two dramatic 3-pointers by Manford in the final seconds turned the game around and ensured the red victory.

The piquant story of the match was the return to Israel and a whole group of the center Tyreek Jones, who played in the red uniform and recorded an impressive breakthrough season, and now he returned and met his ex and the Red crowd, who received him warmly, and this is for the opening ceremony.
After the match, the Reds will return to the local arena and begin preparations for the next league game, when on Sunday they will host Ness Ziona in the Lev Moshavah Hall.
